New York (July 5, 2024) - AREX Capital Management, LP (together with its affiliates, "AREX"), the beneficial owner of approximately 4.9% of the outstanding common shares of Enhabit, Inc. (NYSE: EHAB) ("Enhabit" or the "Company"), today issued an open letter to its fellow stockholders expressing its disappointment in the Company's recent investor presentation, which it believes recycles the same excuses and makes the same empty promises on which the Company has repeatedly failed to deliver.
